The conservative legislator is a noted hawk on China, Cuba and Iran; US attorney general nominee to “end weaponised government”. Follow live updates.
Donald Trump has nominated Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, to be the US Attorney General. The Florida legislator was not one of the main names seen as a likely pick for the top law enforcement job. Trump’s announcement was first pushed out on his social media network instead of a more formal announcement from his transition team, as most of his picks have been made. “Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponisation of our Justice System.
“On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponisation.” Gaetz replied on X, “It will be an honour to serve as President Trump’s Attorney General!” Trump’s pick of Gaetz comes as the House Ethics Committee is still investigating allegations that he was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl.
